Living and working in Cyprus, I am often asked by people from other countries what are salaries like in Cyprus. I never had a good answer to the question, because the answer depends a lot on the company you’ll be working for and your position. Even the range for the same position across different companies can vary 3-4 times easily.
Cyprus Mail reports that the government had decided to increase the minimum wage (salary). Gladly, the article provides a reference for average salary across the island.
THE MINIMUM wage is being increased to €887 from €840 effective from Thursday, the Labour Advisory Committee announced yesterday. Final approval for the 5.6 per cent increase, which will bring the minimum wage to 50 per cent of the average national wage, rests with the Cabinet.
So, this means that the while the minimum wage will now be €887, the average is twice that much – €1774. That’s good to know. Now I have an a better answer for all those people who are asking.
Unfortunately you can't rely on "twice" much, because minimum wage is the bottom, this won't affect much the others except those who had 840 euro per month.
Even if this will affect the average wage, 5.6 percents increase will be eaten by the taxes/inflation.
Andrey,
government does not directly control the average wage. Average wage is a statistical fact – what is already out there. The minimum wage can be controlled by the law and now it is being pushed up. THE LEVEL to which it is being pushed up is said to be half of the average salary. Which means that on average, across the country, people are ALREADY earning 1774 EUR. And that's the indicator that I have been looking for.
Taxes and other deductions are not included, of course.
i am a student i am studying in nicosia Casa college can i get a job plz ..i can do every type of job..plz help me tell me jobs nd sallaries
is this 840 gross? or nett
I think gross. But with minimum wages you won’t have to pay much taxes.
no taxes for income below 19500 a year.
6.8% for social insurance for any income
I'm interested in working in a 5* hotel,as a waiter or in room service,with my wife in housekeeping or general cleaning,and with accomodation and boarding inside the facilities.What would be the wage of our jobs?

Enter your comment here…good day sir,please to be working in Cyprus in Agric sector.any help ?
how much do you think software engineer at an entry level can earn in cyprus , pls help
I think somewhere around 1500 EUR (gross).
Even though Cyprus has such mediocre/low average salaries compared with most of the West, how can one explain the 500,000Euro houses popping up everywhere and the fact that 1 in every 5 automobiles is approx 40,000EU + Mercedes/BMW/Porsche? Is there sth shady going on we are not being made aware of?
My guess is that most of the expensive houses belong to people with incomes from abroad (Russians and such) and most expensive cars are bought through loans. And then there are lawyers and doctors, who get a lot of cash payments that don’t show up in any statistics.
i have a work visa of cyprus and work is as labour in a addvertisement agency means hoardings,banners posters etc what would be the minimum salary? plz reply i have to leave to cyprus but all is on your opinion they offer me 675 euros
vicky,
as far as I know, they can’t offer you less than a minimum salary – it is illegal. However, I am not a lawyer.
Hi
Been following this blog, and you need to mention that minimum wage is set for six SPECIFIC occupations – sales staff, clerical workers, auxiliary healthcare staff and auxiliary staff in nursery schools, crèches and schools.
For the remaining occupations MINIMUM wage is set by the various trade unions. So she wil need to check what union covers Advertising Agencies and then contact them directly.
It may fall under the Federation of private workers – SEK-OIYK
how is Doorman Man/Security Jobs for clubs is there many openings?
Thanks
i want to ask does anybody knows how much is salary for cleaners? thank u
When you say €887, do you mean on a monthly basis or bi-weekly?
I’m from the west and I’m offered about €40000/annum to work in Limassol in an Accounting/Finance/Operations opening. Is this a good or above average salary? Will it be sufficient to start from scratch in the area? (New home/car/furniture).
I’m not trying to be vain or greedy, but I would prefer something better then what I’m getting in Canada if I decide to move to a different country. My current salary expectation in Canada would be around $55k+
Salaries here are on a monthly basis. 40,000/annum is more than 3,000 a month, which is well above average salary.
As to whether this will be enough or not – that depends on what you are used to, your expectations. In my personal opinion – yes, that will be enough.
I was offered EUR700 as a housekeeper in a hotel, overtime is not included yet. My question is how much is the overtime there in Cyprus? I’m an Asian.
That sounds like below minimum salary, which is illegal. But I’m not very good with these things.

No, you are not allowed to work on visitor’s or tourist visa. You need to have an employment visa with work permit.
if i have to work just for 8 hours a day how mush can i earn per hour?
bcz im planning to visit cyprus as a student
iz it possible???
In general, students aren’t allowed to work either. There are some exceptions for part-time work for students who study travel and tourism, I think. But you’d have to clear those with the college and immigration authorities.
It’s been a while since I checked.

Hi there, I was offered a 850 Euro net salary in a tourism related company for an 8 hour x 6 days a week schedule. Apart from position accepted (requiring expertise and higher education), expected to work in other departments when needed. Is this a normal pay or am I being underpaid? can one live with this amount in cyprus?
Hi Eve. If I remember correctly, the minimum salary is about 890 euro, so this one isn’t even legal. For a position requiring higher education and for six days a week, this is definitely too low.
Thanks for this Leonid. I thought this might be the case. best regards
